The things that play on your mind the most are the ones that just got away.

Robbie Buhl, after winning at WDW in 2000
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.
